three: chocolate reduces stress. The swiss (how ironic!) found that when very anxious people ate a small amount of dark chocolate every day for two weeks, their stress hormone levels reduced! Tick!

four: chocolate makes you happy! Wow, this IS a super food. Studies have shown that people who are generally happy have a lot of anandamide in their system…and guess what?! Anandamide can be found in chocolate!

five: did we mention chocolate tastes delish…oh, we did…this reason definitely deserves a second mention!

So this valentines day get a little creative in the kitchen and try these super easy, super tasty paleo chocolate truffles, sure to melt someone’s heart!

Always merrymaking,
